In
addition to these listed against certain houses the following
individuals were also resident of the village at this time: - Bella
Buckie, Bella Sinclair and Poopy Bella!

Have a look at the illustration
to see where the houses were located in the village at the time (around
1900). Unfortunately all house numbers are not illustrated because
some of the houses had already been demolished or had fallen into
disrepair as the 1800's progresed.
